Mr. Henderson will be widely missed. He has repre- sented
us well and has had a growing influence with foreign representatives. We also regret the -break in the line of Secretaries of State who have gone from Downing Street,' and we are sorry to lose the prospect of Mr. Henderson's presidency of the Disarmament Conference next year. We count Great Britain very fortunate in having at Geneva such a substitute as Lord Cecil. No man is more respected there or has greater experience. The new Government has readily turned to him, and could do so -with • confidence that we shall be influentially represented and that other nations will realize the continuity Of British policy. With him, to attend the Assembly, are Lord Lytton, who has represented India in the past, Dame Edith Lyttelton, Lord Astor and Sir Arthur Salter.
